The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Senator Biodun Olujimi, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele among other Nigerians on Friday paid glowing tributes to the winner of the June 12, presidential election, late Chief Moshood Abiola and other Nigerians who died as martrys of democratic struggle.
The Governor noted that Buhari, by the gesture, would be fondly remembered after he might have left office for giving June 12 a significant place in the national diary and acknowledging the symbol of the struggle, Chief Moshood Abiola as the rightful winner of the election and taking a step further to give him the nation’s highest honour.
“This, for me, was the most significant lesson of June 12 and we must teach it, learn it and keep it etched in our sub-conscious in the certainty that a new Nigeria, a better Nigeria is possible. The Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District said June 12 should be a day of sober reflection to weigh the country’s democracy, reflect and restrategise on how to move Nigeria forward rather than a day of celebration across the country.
“But unfortunate despite the sacrifices paid by Abiola and other martrys, Nigeria democracy is still wandering in the wilderness of uncertainty. We are still very far from where we ought to be as a nation. It is evident that all the barometers of socio-economic development were in the negative mode.
